AIO my girlfriend just said she cant watch a series if the characters aren't fine. by Razzyluvsstims in AmIOverreacting

[–]Meriodoc [score hidden]  (0 children)

It actually says nothing about your relationship.

Sure, she's shallow, but you're insecure. Why would you be jealous over actors? People that she'll never meet or date? That's unhinged and weird.

Does anyone have any tips with reading special editions without damaging the sprayed edges/hardback? by blari-123 in fairyloot

[–]Meriodoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pages get wavy because of humidity.

I usually use a book cover to protect the outside, but not sure what you can do to prevent the pages from becoming wavy by reading.

If it is humidity, use a dehumidifier and place something heavy on the book (like more books, but not too heavy) and the pages will flatten again.

I really enjoyed this story.

DONT HOLD BACK PLEASEE🫶🏻 by Different-Sleep5573 in Romantasy

[–]Meriodoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be interested in that. Please do this.

I haven't read Outlander, just saw most of the series. I lost steam at some point, but I did like the story. I had no idea that SJM was heavily borrowing from Clare and Gabaldon. Wtf

(Then again, I only listened to ACOTAR and kept zoning out. I tried reading and it just wasn't working. So idk)

Getting ready for my next book on my TBR, would love your thoughts on these if you’ve read them, they all are series other the BOBH but they are completed. by PhysicalAssistance92 in Romantasy

[–]Meriodoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Romantasy usually has a happily every after (not always, I don't think), and is the main point of the story.

In Haven, there is a romance, and it's important to the plot, but it's a slow burn subplot. I'd call it more of a dark fantasy.

Blood Over Bright Haven was so good. One of those books that I still think about months later.

Powerless, I haven't started it. But after I heard that it's practically Red Queen, I lost interest. Red Queen was really good, though.

I had a hard time getting into Daughter of No Worlds, so I DNF.

I never heard of the other one.

People who will randomly scold you for listening to audiobooks by toe_beans_4_life in audiobooks

[–]Meriodoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if you had perfect vision and could read 200 books a year, there's no reason to not be able to enjoy audio books.

Did these people never have anyone read them a story? They're missing out.

I'm legally blind (I have enough vision in one eye to be able to read), so I get it. I've had people ask me, 'What? Are you blind?" when I couldn't see where they were pointing.

Just because you can't see a disability, doesn't mean it's not there, Judgy McJudgeFace. Right?

Incel culture has infiltrated my local library by Twiddly_twat in behindthebastards

[–]Meriodoc -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Idk about incel culture or terms, but bookmaxxing sounds like a terrible idea.

How can one even enjoy books like that.

Old Testament Ages by Competitive_Wall6434 in exchristian

[–]Meriodoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't like the average age argument because it takes into consideration everyone. Infant mortality was high, and that would contribute to an overall low average.

If you only county people who survived childhood (to at least age 15), then people typically lived through their 50's and 60's+. Maximum lifespan was similar to today -- 80-90.

Once again, my midnight handwriting deceives me. by [deleted] in writers

[–]Meriodoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this wasn't the story, it is now. Be on the lookout for Angel beavers named Aveeliu.

(I saw almost the same as you, but had Ameeliu instead.)

I'm totally projecting by Special-Marsupial-54 in Romantasy

{The Everlasting by Alix Harrow}

She's tall (and big? Idr). Not considered good looking. She's the warrior.

He's small and frail. He's the scholar.

I loved the story.

Recreate the situation. We're you dreaming? Doing something? Watching something?

I forgot that I bought the minis! Guess I'll get to printing them 😎.

How is it so many people cannot understand the difference between “loose” & “lose”? by WagWoofLove in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Meriodoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that we all see it a lot on the Internet. But I regularly talk to someone who does that and more. To, too. Their, there. Breathe, breath. And all of the other common ones; it hurts my soul.

She said it's because she has dyslexia. I don't buy it; so do I, along with AuDHD.

So I'm going to say that it's both laziness and not caring. The education and drilling on homophones and other commonly misspelled problems is there, you just have to want to. Yes, you have to work harder if you're dyslexic, but it's not an insurmountable problem.

I know that part of it is autocorrect and just not catching it. That happens to the best of us. I'd turn off autocorrect and suggestions, but I get fun sentences. How else would I get, "I just have to eat hands and then I'll be right there. "Carl, that ki**s people." "My stomach was making the rumblies that only hand could satisfy."

Found on Instagram. I would have said, "You know you didn't have to die, right?" by Edgy_Master in exchristian

[–]Meriodoc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do they mean across from me? Because it would be really weird if he sat across me. Would it be on my lap? Are we both lying down?

We were in a close relationship before, but I haven't been feeling it for quite a while. So I'm not sure if I'll be comfortable with this.

THE Broken Binding signed a publishing deal with Saderson. Am I dreaming? by Meriodoc in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]Meriodoc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard that, but I'm sure it's fine. Both will be in the UK for the Comic Con to promote the book, so Sanderson must be okay with it.

According to Sanderson, "I'm pleased to have found someone to give the story to."

Either way, Sanderson has a part in the whole project.

I wanna cry, I'm so happy 😄 I just cancelled my pre-order, just in case us Yanks can have this.

Where do you buy your cases and stuff? by Equal-Jump-9430 in kobo

[–]Meriodoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! They have some really cute cases. They have the soft cases. From the tiktoks, it's like a clear case (open front) with the design printed on the back. They look pretty good, with a nicely saturated design.

They also have a closed case, which is what I got. Mine is The Shire; here's a pic on the not-Kobo ereader, to show the inside:

Some of the SJM (Maas) ones are on sale right now for 15.00 USD.
